Wells seemed like a great guy all around–this tweet is evidence of that. The fact that he gave the infield a shot after all those years in the outfield–he played at third, second, and first last season–said a lot, too. But he just isn’t very good anymore.

It would be rather funny if they went a million or two over the $189 million cap since this misguided trade would be the cause of it, unless they can find a sucker to dump him on. They made such a big deal about “only” having to pay him $2.2 million this year. Oops.
